hierarchy

And so a hierarchy is established.

In 2008 Paul Graham attempted to answer this question by proposing a hierarchy with 7 stages of disagreement ranging from weak to strong.

I think one of the ambitions for this show is we're not trying to, sort of like, reverse a hierarchy that's always existed within art museums where fashion's at the bottom rung of the ladder.

For Goldtooth, and many Natives, the ability to laugh at our oppressors, and poke fun at serious things, helps take a little bit of power from those hierarchies and return it to Natives.
